Standoffs and hanging a 4'x8' sign

[Gino]

Gino, where in his opening post does he say 8' tall?

Either you're losing it or I'm losing it......

Ok I've been saved. They just want me to letter the sign now. No installation. Not sure what they are doing and I don't want to know.

Thanks for the info, I'm sure it will come in handy on another project.

I said one us one losing it, now I'm certain which one of us it was That's frightening, as I read that thing about 6 times and never saw it. Maybe the Maker's Mark/blood ratio is still two far up the scale

Better yet... don't use any power tools or get too close to any sharp objects.

It's an interior sign in a salon. Just talked to them.They said they may go 24 x 48. How about this size using glass? How many standoffs?
It's an older building. Actually the ceilings in this place are really high.

Thanks for the help.

I would make the sign and take it to a frame shop and have a frame made .
It would look great and be more rigid.
Then just mount the frame with stand offs concealed or not.
/ your work is art is it not ?

Just did this 3x6' 3/16 plex with 1/2 black letters stood off the yellow panel, Mounted to wall with 6 1" standoffs, I get them from my materials vendor but you can also get them from fairfield displays or outwater plastics. For a 4x8 panel you could get away with 6 safely but I would do 8 standoffs because it would look nicer being a few fqft bigger then the one shown
